Peaceful, excellent farm atmosphere.
First of all giving a 5 star for location can be misleading for some, we deliberately drove around to be able to spend the night here. We were not sorry. Old-world atmosphere, friendly reception and pampering with good facilities and a delicious dinner that we booked in advance. It is almost unimaginable that so many activities took place years ago on this historic farm. Grateful that the owners continue to maintain and share.

Melton Wold is a beautiful old fashioned guest house in a beautiful remote location. With a great service from warm and helpful people.
For those looking for rest in the wonderful nature of South Africa, far from the inhabited world, and a good accommodation, Melton Wold, somewhere between Loxton and Victoria-West, is an excellent place for that. The guest house is old and full of history, but the care is contemporary and excellent.

Unique experience.
The interesting history and old world atmosphere is a completely different experience. We were the only visitors eating there, so it was a bit quiet. Music in the dining hall will help for a better atmosphere. As there is no other restaurant and self-catering is not an option, it would be good if their rates for the meals are indicated. Staff are friendly and competent.

Although a few kilometers from the main road, it was once again a wonderful experience. The tranquillity of the farm life, spacious sleeping quarters and buildings, clean air and beautiful Karoo surroundings make this I definitely want to use it again. Friendly people and food were delicious, as well as going up the mountain with the little kids. This wonderful outing is definitely not meant for people who want to find fault with everything (proverb: take it as it is).

Oasis in the middle of the Karoo, without a doubt worth the extra 40 km drive!
Truly an oasis: of generous hospitality, delicious traditional food offered with deep value of careful attention that feels like it lies deep in the almost 200 year tradition of offering welcoming accommodation! The early morning swim in the clear blue, the almost-as-old pool surrounded by tamarisk, birdsong and peacock call was just what my soul and spirit needed. Further avalanche!
